Senior Advisor John McGuire was honored by the Museum of the Moving Image at a ceremony on Oct. 20. McGuire, who served as the museum’s vice president and founding chairman, was recognized for his pivotal role in founding the museum and for his years of service as a trustee.

The Museum of the Moving Image is recognized as a leading institution in advancing the understanding and appreciation of the art, history and technology of film, television and digital media. The evening also served as a celebration of organized labor: Matthew Loeb, international president of IATSE, and Thomas O’Donnell, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 817 and director of the Motion Picture and Theatrical Trade Division, were also honored.

Additionally, McGuire has been instrumental in securing free admission for SAG-AFTRA members to the museum, so be sure to pay a visit and take advantage of this wonderful resource.
